Collaboration playlist button missing after Sonoma 14.3 update

After updating my Mac, iPhone & iPad to the latest versions this afternoon, I do not see the 'Collaboration Management button' in the Music App on my Mac. However, I do have this option in the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad.


I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:


  • Signed out and back into the Apple Music App on my Mac
  • Restarted my Mac
  • Created a New playlist
  • Modified an existing playlist
  • Verified the 'Allow friends to find you' option in Apple Music Account Settings is enabled


Still no luck. Am I missing something?

Mac mini, macOS 14.3

Same here.

Mac mini M2 Pro, 14.3, Music 1.4.3.27


Tried Apple Support chat, who were worse than awful. I told them the button was missing and sent them the link to Apple's guide to collaboration management on Mac to show what I meant. After a lengthy pause they sent me back a copied and pasted list of the steps from that very article I had just sent them and asked 'have you tried this?'


At which point I ended the chat.

Not sure what has made the difference, but I now have the button on my Mac. One or more of these things has made the difference:

  • Updating my wife's iPhone to 17.3 (she's a family member of my account so has Apple Music through me), getting her to create a collaborative playlist on it and me joining it
  • Me creating a profile in my iPhone Music app, which I'd never done before
  • Signing out of my account in Music on the Mac after doing those things, quitting the app, going back in and signing back into my account.

After that sign-in, the button in question was there.
